2019-2020 NGA CHAIR’S INITIATIVE

Infrastructure: Foundation for Success, under the leadership of Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, will bring together thought leaders from government, business, and academia to work with the nation’s governors in pursuit of a common infrastructure mission: building a more efficient, innovative, smart, and secure foundation for success.

The NGA Summer Meeting is one of two primary gatherings of the nation’s governors. This year’s program was held July 24-26 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

OUR MISSION

Founded in 1908, the National Governors Association (NGA) is the voice of the nation’s governors and one of the most respected public policy organizations in the country. The association's members are the governors of the 55 states, territories and commonwealths. Members come to the association from across the political spectrum, but NGA itself is boldly nonpartisan.
